Slow-Cooked Green Beans with Salt Pork

Why spend 90 minutes making green beans? That long cooking time infuses the beans with porky goodness and makes them silky-soft.

Ingredients

4 Servings

4 oz. sliced salt pork

1 pound green beans, trimmed

Freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

Place salt pork and green beans in a large saucepan and add water to cover. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer, adding more water as needed to keep covered, until green beans are very tender, 1½–2 hours; season with pepper.
